The words Mediterranean and summer go together like feta and olives, which is why we can’t talk about dreamy July destinations without mentioning Greece.

A Taste of Taiwan by Train

Taiwan is a year-round destination and, as long as you prepare for the odd tropical shower, July is a great time to visit. This island nation off the coast of China is one of our top picks for 2024, thanks to its unique cultural blend, eclectic array of modern cities and enviable natural beauty. This nine-day Rail Trip showcases it all as we loop around the island via a series of scenic train journeys – most notable is the stunning east coast leg. You’ll discover the street food delights of bustling night markets, marvel at striking works of temple architecture and enjoy urban greenspaces in Taipei, Taichung, Tainan and Kaohsiung. Meanwhile, countryside escapes include a day enjoying the serenity of Sun Moon Lake – as well as the world class tea produced nearby – and another exploring the unique rock formations of Taroko Gorge. Our July departure starts in Taipei on the 20th!

Seductive Southern Italy

Let’s get back to the Med and over to the sparkling waters of the Amalfi Coast. This 10-day jaunt is a real ode to the romance of coastal Italy, starting on the charming old streets of Naples, where an unforgettable street food tour awaits. Then we road trip along the Amalfi, stopping off in quaint seaside towns and hopping onboard a boat cruise. Full up on seafood pasta, gelato and limoncello, we’ll head across from west to east. Inland stops include the unique hilltop town of Matera and the quirky trulli huts of Alberobello, as well as the vineyards and olive groves of the Itria Valley, which we’ll explore by e-bike. We’ll eventually see the sea once more, spending a day on the glorious beaches of Polignano a Mare, before visiting some of the most beautiful towns and cities in Puglia, ending up in Lecce, AKA the Florence of the South. Will you join us in Naples on 20 July?
